Here is a practical example of how the PRC1000 can be used to control power on solar system
1
Solar panel converts sunlight into DC
electricity to charge the battery.

DC electricity is fed to the battery via
a solar regulator which ensures the
battery is charged properly and not
damaged.
3
Unlike conventional car batteries
which are designed to provide a large
amount of current for a short amount
of time, deep cycle batteries are
designed to be discharged over a
long period of time and recharged
thousands of times.

supplied to the connected radio
modem and data logger. Draw from
